Guy #1 was sick early last week so he masked up and kept working since his covid test was negative. I got sick around last Thursday before my scheduled 2 days off. I masked up all week also when I found out guy #1 was sick and saw him wearing his mask but I still came down with what I'm assuming was the same thing. It wasn't anything serious. I had coughing, head and sinus congestion with a runny nose for a couple days. Never had a fever or felt any aches or anything. I took it easy over the weekend, had a bunch of OJ and whiskey drinks, made some soup, then also tested negative for covid before returning to work. When I get back 2 other guys who sit in the back are coughing and joking around about how guy #1 and myself got them sick. Guy #3 took off work and guy #4 said he felt fine but just had a scratchy throat so he masked up and kept it rolling. The last guy #5 was scheduled to fly today and yesterday he popped a positive covid test. He had to cancel his arrangements and start quarantine today until the 6th. Funny thing is that guy #5 is an older gentleman (72) who stays masked up at all times while in the shop, is fully vaccinated and just got his booster shot less than 2 weeks ago. After hearing the news last night guy #2 (who is feeling better now) took a covid test at the hospital and also tested positive. He will also be in quarantine until January 6th. The Medical Group asked us all to go take another covid test this coming Friday. It's hilarious that seemingly intelligent people think "mask up" is going to make any difference. Self delusion is now a political badge of honor.

Masking, you ignorant tool, is mostly about preventing YOU from infecting others. This is why it is SOP in ORs, and when visiting patients with immune issues, like burn victims. The mask LESSENS your risk of spreading infection. That you morons still wring your panties about masks is incredulous.

There have been a few here, and quite a few of their family members (yours truly included), who contracted Covid in this latest wave. We are all fine, thank you. But let's nevertheless get into a fear induced frenzy brought on by the psychopaths on this thread. Great idea!

What happens is that when you make a point that can't be refuted, the progressive participants in the thread resort to personal attacks and ridicule or attacks on the source of the information. I mean we are on the EMB, so decorum is correctly disregarded by the members here given the forum. But again, in Uttar Pradesh India, they beat back an outbreak in less than a month via widespread distribution of Ivermectin. Nobody here has been able to dispute the veracity of this statement. If you have facts which dispute the veracity of this, please share. If not and this is true, you would have to agree that something is amiss.
January 3, 20224 yr working from home this week as i continue to kick covid's sorry arse. still only experiencing cold symptoms...probably because i'm in peak physical condition...pretty much built like a greek god. and i don't trust the rapid covid tests...already had 2 family members test negative even though they're symptomatic. pfft!

No you Missouri Fox Trotter, the individual risk from omicron is low for vaccinated/boosted individuals. For them, yes the disease is mild. But unfortunately we live among a death cult in this country where nearly 40% are still not vaccinated so for them, it's not quite so mild. Which means hospitals and healthcare systems pushed to the brink again and burn out for those workers still very much an issue.

January 3, 20224 yr Two of our three kids (who were vaccinated several months ago) ended up with COVID over the past couple of weeks. Wife and I were boosted a month ago and we never tested positive or felt any symptoms. Youngest received his 2nd vax shot around the same time and had the same experience. Recent vaccine/boosters seems to have done its job.

January 3, 20224 yr Let's see, it has common cold symptoms, but let's wait in line for hours to get tested with tests that often don't work - and even if they do work and we test positive, there's no treatment for it being recommended. Sounds logical. Some of you people are mental midgets. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-update-covid-tests-fail-detect-omicron-variant/611617/ FDA in update says 2 COVID-19 tests fail to detect the omicron variant https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/fda-warns-rapid-antigen-tests-less-accurate-for-omicron-but-dont-stop-testing/ FDA Warns Rapid Antigen Tests Less Accurate For Omicron (But Don't Stop Testing) https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/96385 Are We Testing for Omicron Wrong? — South African study suggests nasal swabs aren't the best way

Would you feel less sick if your doctor told you it was a cold and not Omicron?
